Frequently Asked Questions

How much equity do I need for a property loan?

At least 20–30 % of the purchase price is recommended to cover acquisition costs (approx. 10–15 %) and secure good rates. Less equity is possible but leads to higher interest and longer terms.

What are purchase ancillary costs?

Purchase ancillary costs include: property transfer tax (3.5–6.5 % by state), notary fees (approx. 1.5 %), land register (approx. 0.5 %) and optionally agent commission (up to 3.57 %). Total approx. 10–15 % of purchase price.

How long should the fixed-rate period be?

At historically normal rates, experts recommend 10–15 years. At current rates around 3.5–4.5 % a 10–15-year fix provides good planning security.

What happens after the fixed-rate period ends?

The remaining debt is refinanced at then-current market rates. Interest rate risk: rates may be higher. A forward loan can lock in the rate up to 5 years in advance.
